Around half of all school-age children in Sudan, or more than eight million, are no longer in education because of the country’s civil war, in one of the world’s worst education crises, Save The Children said in a report yesterday.
“Right now the international community is failing the children of Sudan,” Inger Ashing, the CEO of Save the Children International told reporters.
The report said more than eight million Sudanese children had missed about 500 days of education since the civil war began in April 2023.
